Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm watching the Global Frequency pilot (good times!) and there's this really urgent line: "There's a camera in the PHONE." that makes me realise--it wasn't all that long ago, but that was forever.

Welcome to the Global Frequency.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Okay, I'm arguing on FB with someone whether "pre-diabetes" is a disease state. (Hint: IT'S NOT. It's a set of numbers and diagnostic criteria that lead to, frankly, a guess that someone has a 50-50 chance of developing diabetes. That's not a disease state.)

Dude is all paleo and crossfit and 2% bodyfat, so my very fat self has no credibility with him. EVEN THOUGH I'M A MEDICAL EDITOR.

I'm also hopped up on migraine meds so it's possible I'm just itching for a fight.

Because books.

You're right, Steph. Which you knew, I know, but still worth saying.

Jesse, you're going to need the time off by then! But hopefully you can also enjoy it.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

could there be some parallel drawn with a non-state of "pre-pregnancy"?

Then the ever popular pre-cold! Reason to buy more drugs! Because god forbid you may have just sneezed at a random irritant.

Fucksticks. I can't and won't get into details, but I just spent the last hour essentially doing family counseling over an epic kaboom (not my family, fwiw.) I just...I think I got through, I think they all heard the right words, I hope I gave them perspective and tools. This is so beyond my paygrade....

Soothing noise, soothing noises....

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

And wine if you are inclined, sara.
